Question 1

Is this compatible with the HP h8-1017c Intel i7 2600S (Sandy Bridge) CPU? I need to replace the cooling fan.

Accepted Answer

The cooler documentation doesnt clearly specify a TDP that it supports BUT it does state that it is "compatible" with the i7 2600 CPU so it cant hurt to give it a shot. Just dont expect to be doing a lot of overclocking with this. But then again you have this in an HP and they lock their BIOS so I doubt you are going to be trying to do any OC anyway.

Question 2

Will this fit in an Alienware X51?

Accepted Answer

depends on the motherboard.  If it's an Intel motherboard that is not a 2011   then yes.  It might even fit an AMD motherboard.  Alienware just told me who assembled your PC.. Sorry if this does not help however I was not given enough information.

Question 3

Will this fit in a 1u case? Reusing an old case and looking for a quieter alternative to a 1u fan.

Accepted Answer

absolutely not.  I assume this is a joke.  1U ~1.5 inches.  This is almost 5 inches tall.
